Crafty in the Med

I'm here to enjoy meeting other crafters and to share my ideas and projects. I love to crochet,cross stitch and embroidery but I'm keen to try new crafts too. I love music and I love to sing! Singing makes me happy. I collect jugs....its their shape I think! I am addicted to yarn and buttons. I get lost in book shops and can spend all morning there and I absolutely adore rummaging in flea markets. I love to read sci´fi/fantasy,buried treasure, and off world adventures. I have a passion for history! I would be the first passenger on the first time machine ! I BELIEVE IN MAGIC!

Well I seem to be a fully fledged lurker now. Why? Well I am still a presence in blogland but as a lurker...bopping from blog to blog,reading lots but rarely posting.
It is the same old chant.. no time!!!
At this moment I am waiting to receive a return call from the organiser of a course being held in the Chamber of Commerce here starting next week. Why is it when they say I'll call you back in a minute the minute stretches to 30 minutes!!! GRR!!! My time is valuable!! I know it sounds rather like a cliche but unfortunately we live in a society where time is predominant! The influence of time in my life is so marked that I organise my working day to the minute and when I get this useless waiting around it upsets me!!
Pretty awful isn't it? I know I am not alone! I am sure many out there know what I mean. Sometimes I wish I could do a Gauguin and leg it to the South Pacific to live.

OK!! on second thoughts not so useless waste of time as I am able to write up this post...la..di..da!!!

What has been going on since I last posted which was the end of December......so long!
Here in the city and the province: Cold...snow...storms...cold and snow more or less in that order. As always no snow in the city but getting to the mountain towns has been difficult. It has been very cold unusually so. When I say unusually cold I mean so cold I dug out my gloves which I haven't worn since I went to home to the UK in November 1999.

This is one of my students who sent this photo to me last weekend. That was also taken in the mountains.
Today it is all about the wind which is really fierce.

I've been crocheting of course practically nothing will stop me doing that. I have made a massive shawl which I can't see myself wearing very much because it is rather heavy. I started it during the cold spell and thought I needed something really warm. I still have to block it so no photo as yet.
